Plane hits Northwest Austin office building
In what authorities describe as an apparent intentional act, a pilot flew a
single-engine plane Thursday into a Northwest Austin office building that
houses Internal Revenue Service offices, igniting a massive explosion,
jolting terrified employees to the floor and triggering a massive federal
investigation. The plane was registered to Andrew Joseph Stack III whose
nearby home was on fire at roughly the same time.
